[myloverisbillmurray]

its hilarious how everone in this documentary has their own impression of Williams. its charming really i suppose!

Critics could be a bit less caustic in their descriptions of plays, movies, music...even actors. Sure, if something stinks, say so...but you don't have to completely castrate the poor soul that wrote it. Sometimes negativity begets negativity....and I think that is part of what happened to Tenn later in life. The more critics said, the more he drank, the more bad plays he wrote.

he got killed by his gay lover..

Isn't that Candy Darling on his left?

[rockies74]

He lost his talent, then whined for the rest of his life, about falsely being persecuted by critics.

[MrTennessy]

I love it!

Covered the waterfront? Yikes. Poor Tennessee. Risking assault by drunken Times Square sailers was no kind of life. What a sad life. However, his best plays make him one of the immortals.

[AngryNewAger]

@seans10 Agreed. He was a tragic soul but damn! What plays!

[animalmother16]

sometimes critics dont think for themselves, they rely on each other to give good reviews or bad ones

[eddievas]

Haha. This JSC is so frustrated he has never been produced except for his local community theater.

[JSC1401]

Martyred by critics?

Critics criticise.

They usually say WHY they like or dislike something.

They don't always say "it was simply wonderful, darling" as often do Youtubers ;p

[popmovies]

my god youtubers are the worst critics out there.

[PeterBluth]

@JSC1401 Yes, they do criticise. But, they have to be jerks about why they didn't like something. Calling a play a monster is ridiculous even if it wasn't any good. Call it bad, no need to be cleaver, just say it and end it.

[Resenbrink]

Sad.
